CORN CULTURE.

Shall wv and level culture of corn
has been proved the best method of
growing this valuable crop. The
roots of this tropical plant seek the
surface, where they luXurlate in the
suns heat. 1t is highly carbon
aceous plant, as are all the tropical
varieties, and needs heat and moist
IRE. A loose surface is quickly
heated by the suns rays and readily
absorbs the moisture from the hot
air, which is condensed in the some
what cooler soil, especially at night,
when the heat is radiated from the
soil and the dew is copiously depos-
tied on the cooled earth. The feed
ing roots of this plant spread freely
close to the surface hence, deep Gull
tivation is aninjury, by leaving these
roots and checking the growth.
There is no good reason for billing
up corn; the alleged reason that it
supports the stalks against high
winds and beating rains is not well
founded, for hilled up crop is as
easily Frustrated as one on level
ground, and it RECEIVERS itself less
easily. Good practice and common
consent of successful growers both
favor shallow and level cultivation
of this crop.-Nete York Times.

of small fenced yards SO arranged
that at least three sizes of pigs can
slip under and be divided into three
grades and each have trough to
eat from. Now, by pouring the
swill into the troughs for the small
pigs they will crowd into their pens
first and be out Of the way of the
older ones, safe, eating. Then take
the second grade, and they will all
be on an equality and out of the way
of the still larger ones. In this man.
ner a feeder can regulate the feed
and grade his hogs in eating, and
manage a large number and have
each get a proper share of food, and
not get hurt. Do not undertake to
raise your hogs on grass alone. They
need least one ear of corn per day
to give them heart and to neutralize
the acid arising from eating the grass.
A full supply of ashes and salt
should be kept in reach all the time.
Charcoal is great neutralizer of

SOWING GRASS WITHOUT GRAIN.

On good, moist, rich land have
had excellentsuccess in seeding grass
in spring, upon greensward turned
over the previous fall, and the sur
face thoroughly pulverized before
winter and again made fine and mel:
low before spring. BY this method
grass land may be kept producing
full crops of grass every year with
out planting But it will need re-
seeding oftener than if an occasional
hoed crop is grown. Timothy is one
Of the poorest kinds of grass for
spring seeding without grain, but if
sown in August it will produce full
crop the next summer. Orchard
grass is good variety for spring
seeding. A great amount OF grass
seed annually lost by sowing it in
connection with spring or winter
grain. The grain crops being har-
vested in the hottest part of the
year, leave the tender and previously
shaded grass plants to be burned up,
leaf and root, by the scorching sun.

TIE HIDDOCE CISE

The trial Of John Arensdorf at Sioux City
for the murder Of the Rev. George liaddock
has ended in o most unsatisfactory way. The
jury disagreed, standing c,cycn for acquittal to
one for conviction, and the court discharged
them, the twelfth man declaring that nothing
could induce him to change his conviction as to
the guilt of the defendant. The foreman Of the
jury most improperly and libcllously expressed
the opinion before the court that the twelfth
juror had been biibcd. Nothing less probable
could have been suggested in the circum-
stances, and If bribery is 10 he suspected. it
certainly 1.-THE prosecution, but the defence
in this case that would bc suspected. The
murder of the Rev. George Haddock was I'M.
qucstionably n revenge, and rs PROFESSIONALLY
the crime was procured il not pcrpctgatcd by
the saloon element Of the place. The victim
was Prohibtionist and very active in helping
the authorities to enforce the law, which was
prohibitory. lie had thus incurred the bittcrest
hatred Of the rumscllcrS and at last he was
assassinatcd on the public street by one Of a
crowd OF men who were loaiing in front Of
saloon. The murderer walked up 10 Mr.. Had.
dock, put pistol TO his head and shot him dead.
The question is whether the State was right
in charging Arcnsdorf with the crime. The
incriminating evidence was given by one
Leavitt who is admitted to have associated
with the saloon element yet turned States
evidence and sworc to having seen Arensdorf
fire the fatal shot. Lcavitts testimony was
met by that Of other members of the nlmscllcrs
gang, some of whom sought TO implicatc him
as the assassin. Judging from all appearances,
there was great deal of perjury at the trial,
and from the character Of many Of the wit
ncsscs for the defence an impartial observer
would have had little difficulty probably in de-
termining who gave the false testimony. Among
so many conflicting statements, however a
Jury that was determined in advance to acquit
the defendant would have found plenty Of
plausible prctcxtS for that course. Arensdorf
was defended, or so it has been stated, by the
associated rrtmsccrs. Public feeling in the
case has run high. and the disagreement
will not be accepted as ending the
matter. The Prohbitionists throughout the
country are greatly reused, and it cannot be
doubted that every possible effort will lie made
TO avenge the death of this martyr to the
total abstinence doctrine.

A UORD TO OUR LAW-MAKERS

The understanding now is that the Legis-
lature will adjourn without day on or about
the 25th of May. 1t is desirable that the date
should not he later, since session unduly pro
longcd is apt to become dcmoralizcd. This
year month which ordinarily Is given to
law making was given to the business of
choosing a United States Senator. The time
thus lost has not been made up, and the result
Is that today our legislators are bchindhand
in their work A large number Of bills arc on
the order of third reading, still larger num-
Der are waiting their turn for consideration in
the Committee of the Whole. Many of these
measures are of general and large public i'm
portancc. Included in the list arc the Supply
bill the Constitutional Convention bill tho
bill regulating telephone charges, and several
Excise and Tax bills.
In view of all that they have to do and of
the obligation which rests upon them to do
everything "dccently and in order" it is
earnestly to be hoped that during the weeks
that remain the peoples representatives at
Albany will swear Off from the usual long
weekly vacations and attend diligently to
business. The Republicans being in the ma
jcrity in both Senate and Assembly, and there.
fore being held responsible for both the quail
ity and the quantity of the outcome of the
session, may well give special heed to this
advice. Thus far the record of the Legislature
of 1887 is q credtablc one. Let nothing lie
done between now and the sine die adjourn
mcnt TO mar ii. Let no measure demanded by
the people fail. and let no job get through.
On the great test vote of the year the Repub
lican members ranged themselves on the side
of reform, and the taxpayers and the Dem
ocratic members on the side Of rum and the
tax caters. 1t is a good issue for the Rcpub-
leans TO 60 before the people next fall and
our friends in Albany must see to il that it's
moral effect is not weakened by any subsequent
piece of legislation of any sort.
AT the November election not only new
Senate and Assembly are TO lie chosen, but
nearly all the State Offices are to he filed.
There is no reason why the Republicans should
not be successful all along the line. and an
legislative record will he half
the battle.

THE AMENDED TEDDER BILL.

The Vedder Liquor Tax bill has been
amended with care and as now presented to
| the Legislature it is measure which Is well
adapted to take the place of the Crosby High
License bill No doubt q better bill might
be drawn if time permitted, but the
| Governors veto at this late stage of
the session made it necessary to choose
between the best that could be done
with this already launched act, and the failure
of all temperance legislation. About the wis
dom of the choice that has been made there can
in the circumstances be no question. SEN
ator Vedder has relieved his bill
of its Objectionable features. 1t has
been strengthened where it was be-
fore defective. 1t has been improved in many
ways. 1t is in its present form strong reve-
nue. measure, sound temperance measure,
and, so far as can be said in regard to so
essentially uncertain matter, it is veto-proof
on any valid ground.
The amended bill provides for the laying of
such graduated liquor tax in first-cass cities
as will give it, for New. York and Brooklyn.
very much the effect of the Crosby bill.
1t WILL that is, operate to reduce the
number of saloons largely. The new clas-
sifcatlon machinery is apparently capa-
BILE of preventing evasions. Effective
checks are provided. The local Excise Boards
are made the judges of the class into which the
person DESTROYS of paying the liquor tax shall
be put. 1t is not left to him to define his own
position as in the old bill. This ar
rangement, too, is guarantee for
the exercise of caution as to the
character of the men allowed to pay the tax,
and must tend to the rejection of the worst
kind of saloon keepers. The application of the
law to cities of the second and third class and
to the smaller communities generally is so
ordered as to insure the effective working of
the law so far as can be estimated In advance
The bill avoids the objection of special egis-
latiOn on the one hand, and of unconstitutiOn-
atty on the other. 1t is broader than the
Crosby bill, and if enacted must not
only be more generally effective, since it
applies to the whole State but must pro-
duce much more considerable and
important revenue. In effect it has been made
a measure which we hope to see supported cor
daily and steadily by every Republican in the
Legislature, and one which we should be dis
posed to commend to the Democrats also, as
plainly in the public interest, had they not too
clearly shown themselves committed to the
side of the rumsellers. AS valuable
revenue bill and strong temperance
measure, the Vedder bill row deserves to be
enacted. and considering the haste which has
been unavoidable, Senator Vedder has really
recast it with marked judgment. prudence and
skill BY all means let the Republicans at
Albany accept, adopt and pass it. Governor
Hill will find it very hard to manufacture the
feeblest kind Of objection to the measure as it
stands, and there can be no doubt that the
people throughout the State will approve it.
